Napoli's President Values Koulibaly $250m
Koulibaly's official release clause is $150m. Although, Napoli's president, De Laurentiis now values him $100m more, why is that? This is because Manchester United spent $87m to acquire Maguire and he believes that way too much for Maguire's quality.
According to Napoli's president;
He (Koulibaly) has a clause of $150m. But, for example, in England, they paid $87m for a player. At Napoli, I would pay $30-$35m. With that in mind, I think Koulibaly's value is $250m if they paid that much for that guy. The problem of the super cost of the players is due to England. In England, they gross more money than in France, Spain, Italy and Germany. If a club grosses $800m, they have no problem to offer, around $80m, $90m, $100m for one player. There is not a real good and fair competition between England and the other countries.
